Topic: Commander CuDa's Customs (Read 5311 times)

Wow, this is looking better and better (and is a great addition to this section). We don't make enough vehicles around here... it's good to see something doing that. You've put in a ton of work into this, and aren't taking any shortcuts that I can see. I can't wait to see the final pics!

Thanks alot ! Its prob gonna be a week or more before I get the lights and get it wired up . Plus I need to get a imperial logo for the nose of the ship. the door and ramp and window all need to be added still. But other then that I have been having some fun with this one . It may take longer then that even because I have a baby girl that should be born any day now plus about 50 other big things going on in my house. But soon as the wirse get here I will wire it. while i had it apart I found some easy ways to get it wired and keep the wires hid pretty well. Cant wait tell its done .

They look awesome ... how do they look when people buy em off ebay ? Are then in boxes or sold in groups ? Do the arms and legs and heads move around ?

crap I would buy 10 of those easy just to make customs.

I got mine off of eBay and from www.alliancecollectibles.com . I like them a lot, but they only have 3 points of articulation (shoulders, head). They're good to fill out a diorama, but they are a little bigger than the hasbro clone troopers. Still, the marching ones make for some great displays.They come as 10-packs in individual sealed plastic bags (all are sealed in a larger plastic bag). On eBay, try searching "Bootleg Clone" or "Custom Clone", you should be able to pick them up for $2 - $3 each.www.alliancecollectibles.com used to have them for $20 a set, but a few months ago they raised their price to $40 a set I think. Still, that's only $4 a clone, but considering their lower-quality, it might not be worth it. I would definitely recommend checking eBay first.

The scariest thing that I've ever seen,Is the terrible AT-AT walking machine.It's as big as a house on walking legs,and whatever it steps on it crushes like eggs.

That is looking nice! I like all of the updated shots, it's cool to see this piece come together. I can't wait to see the lights! I can't really think of anything that I'd change, so keep up the good work CuDa!

Thank you !

I just thought of somthing I might try to do on it . If you look on the wings you will see a blue and red dot on the tip of each wing. Well I was thinking since the bottom of the wing always faces down i could shrink rap wires and run them along the bottom of the wing with 2 led lights that blink slowly and when they blink its not just on and off its a fade in and fade out . and run the lights on the cockpit and cargo hold on a different system then the lights on the wings to make the battery last longer. A blue and red light on each wing were the same color dots are already.

Im also trying to make a cool custom pilot of some sort but Im not having any luck with that one ... I was thinking of repainting Grievous' Guard and takin of his cape and adding differnt guns. Almost giving him a terminator feel. but not sure about that one yet.

The canopy for the Slave C is just painted for now . Im waiting to find a new one . The one I painted up was all beat up and crappy looking. I have been working on its pilot tonight. A custom #41 clone with extra stuff. But Im wating to get my Camera back so it will be a few days tell i can post them. But yeh soon as I get a new canopy I will post all the new pics with the lights installed also.

I just changed my mind on this guy . Im makin some changes that should make him look 100% better. Pics should be added today in the next few hours or so.He is getting a cape from a clone commmander and helmet and weapons plus he will have the old clones commanders suit bound and tied up in the back of the slave C . So it will be makde to look like and empty suit. Im gonna dremel out a clone commander OMG NOOO !!! lol

I think im going to make him a bounty hunter killer. Someone who Kills the bounty hunters and takes What he wants kinda dude. Aruala (a-roo-ala) is his name . Named after my Daughter but backwards lol, her names Alaura.
